VIP Upgrades available for purchase. SCampers who have gone VIP in years past rave about the experience – here are 15 of the reasons why!
1) Prime Parking
VIP Parking is included in your upgrade, and is located ridiculously close to VIP Camping, which means hauling in your gear is super easy and you will have more time and energy to rage your face off.2) Your Thursday Pre-Party Is Included
For those who just can’t wait for Summer Camp’s official start on Friday, the Thursday Pre-Party will kick off the celebration a day early! Arrive on Thursday to claim the best camping spots, catch up with friends, and take in additional early performances from many of the artists who’ll be performing over the weekend. VIP Upgrades include access to the Thursday Pre-Party, so be sure to buy just one or the other!3) Easy Breezy Entry
The line to get into Summer Camp is always shortest for VIPs. There are dedicated VIP entrances near the VIP Camping area, so things move quickly and efficiently. That means getting your gear to your campsite is fast and easier than a wook chick on Phish tour.
4) VIP Camping
Whether you prefer the woods or an open field, VIP Camping is the place to be at Three Sisters Park. It’s set up in close proximity to the Moonshine Stage, and you’ll have round-the-clock access to the the VIP Lounge and VIP Parking, meaning you’ll save your energy for getting down at shows all weekend. VIP Camping is also home to the VIP showers and bathrooms (see #7 and #8), meaning you’ll truly have everything you need just a feet away at all times.5) Your Choice of GA Camping
Getting a VIP Upgrade doesn’t mean you’re required to camp in VIP Camping, and some SCampers choose to get the upgrade even though their crew is camping in GA. This is no problem, and can actually work to your advantage! When gates open, VIPs will be able to use their dedicated entrance to enter the park and pass through in to the GA Camping area. Many use this as an opportunity to head in quickly and set up in a favorite spot while everyone else navigates GA entry. And as long as you have your VIP Wrist Band, you can still access the VIP Lounge and Camping area, so it’s kind of like having the best of both worlds!6) Summer Camp Swag
Every VIP Upgrade includes a special VIP poster to help commemorate the amazing time you had at Summer Camp – you’ll basically take a piece of this special experience home with you! It’s a great conversation piece suitable for any room in your house.
7) VIP Showers
Festivals and camping can be dirty, but that doesn’t mean you have to be! VIP Showers are a major perk for most VIPs, because you don’t have to pay any extra beyond your VIP Upgrade. They are open 24-7 and cleaned regularly, but I still suggest bringing a pair of shower shoes.8) Air-Conditioned Bathrooms
The smell and comfort of these fancy porta trailers all add up to one thing -relaxation. I don’t really feel the need to elaborate with this one.9) VIP Viewing Areas
Both the Moonshine Stage and the Sunshine Stage boast a special VIP viewing area – there are even bleachers and raised viewing platforms so every VIP gets a chance to see the show. With all that extra space, VIPs are free to get down any way they see fit!10) The VIP Bar
Located in the VIP Lounge, this bar is hands down the best bar at Summer Camp. With discounted drinks, mimosas in the morning, couches to relax on, and occasional bartending shifts from Summer Camp artists, this place really does make you feel like a VIP.
11) Special VIP Lounge Sets
Another perk of the VIP Lounge is the intimate stage that has hosted some pretty BIG name acts in previous years. From Keller Williams to Lettuce, this stage gives VIPs a rare opportunity to see their favorite Summer Camp artists up close and personal in a more intimate setting. VIP Lounge sets often go until the wee hours of the morning, so this is always a great option for SCampers looking for a late night throw-down.12) The VIP Welcome Party
Every year there is a fabulous VIP Welcome Party in the VIP Lounge that includes free beer and the opportunity to get friendly with other VIPs. Festival organizers go out of their way to ensure this party is a special kickoff for guests – one year they even projected the NHL Playoffs for everyone’s viewing pleasure!
